I stopped at my favorite thrift store yesterday. I had actually just been in there on Monday, but came away empty-handed. Since I was in the area again on Thursday, I stopped on the off chance that they had gotten some new stuff in the meantime. They seemed to have gotten a lot of new silverplate, so I found a cute little sauce boat (I feel a collection coming on), and some flatware -- the knives have monograms, and the spoons have a lovely etched design. I wish I could show you a closeup, but my camera doesn't want to focus that close.
I also picked up this Kate Spade polka dot purse for $10.
Do you suppose it's real, or a knockoff?

Don't you just love it when you find things like that? And as for the purse - who cares?? It's adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove,

That's a neat little sauce boat.....and I love having lots of miss matched flatware.....much more interesting than matchy, matchy ....... good haul :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have a very good eye. The sauce boat is sleek and elegant. So is the purse, genuine or not.
ReplyDeleteReally nice little sauce boat. Where do you find room for all your treasures? I am so running out of space to "show" them and I hate putting things "away", out of site. I have no floor space for another cabinet or hutch....woe is me!! Space or no space, I have to get out today to run errands and this is when I stop at my favorite thrift shop!! haha
ReplyDeleteOh, and that cute purse? I'll bet it's the REAL THING....
Have a sunshine day.

Real or Not you scored Girl! Love that bag and the gravy boat. ~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Mary! I love mis-matched flatware too. Love that bag! Who cares if it's real? It's great! ~ hugs, Lynda xo
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds! I just mentioned on another blog that I don't have any silver because it is too damp here in Holland. You cannot keep it clean here. I love sauceboats.

I was over at Sweet Cottage Dreams yesterday admiring Becky's silver trays and now today you are featuring your beautiful silver finds....hmmmm. I may have to stop by the local thrift when I go to the store later. I'll let you know if I find any goodies:)

I love the silver!! The bag is too cute.. I'm hitting my thrift store tomorrow!
ReplyDeletei love your finds. I am always picking up flateware. The purse is cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Mary! I love monogramed anything - and your flatware is gorgeous. The Kate Spade purse was a great find. My daughter once found what she thought was a Gucci purse at a garage sale one dark, rainy morning - only to get it home and read the words Gycchi :-} ... definitely a knock off :-} but still gives us a laugh when we think about it!
ReplyDeleteI adore silver, and these treasures are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI like the purse..either way it's great:).
Enjoy, and have a nice weeekend.

Wonderful finds! Treasures to be used and displayed ..... real or not!

Mary, really great finds. I love silver plate. What you found is really good - especially when cute ribbon or material is used to tie up the flatware. The purse is really cute too!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThose are great peices of silverplate. Does anyone know how to clean silver or silverplate?
I keep picking up peices here and there and I would like to clean them.
The purse is adorable. :) Bren
It's a real bag--the label is in the right place, there's the right amount of space between the "s" and "p" in "Spade", the stitching is perfect and that bag is one of the 2000 Fall Collection I believe (could be wrong about the year but somewhere near that time). The fabric is an exact match and it's obviously top quality. Congratulations! You have such good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for identifying it for me. :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Mary
Oh Mary: A Kate Spade bag is a find I would be jumping around for. How wonderful. Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat kate spade is actually a counterfeit. It's a knockoff of her Graphic Dot collection, which had LEATHER handles.
ReplyDeleteI just realized what an old post this is. LOL! But I did want to give you a site to reference for the ks bag. http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/spring2001graphic. I hope you didn't resell that bag to someone! Oops!
